Vanterm

LaPointe Pier, now only a small part of the modern terminal, had its first container ship, the M.S. Axel Johnson, call its berth in 1969.^[3] Vanterm was inaugurated as a container terminal in 1975^[4] and run by Empire Stevedoring and later TSI Terminal Systems Inc. which rebranded to GCT Global Container Terminals.^{[citation needed]}

A $160 million investment in 2019 upgraded terminal infrastructure, software, and equipment, including the acquisition of two modern ship-to-shore cranes, ten rubber tired gantry cranes, and 19 empty container handlers to increase its annual throughout capacity from 835,000 to 1 million TEUs.^[5]

On January 28, 2019, the vessel Ever Summit struck the dock while berthing, causing damage to the vessel, berth, and a gantry crane. There were no injuries.^[6]
